THIS YEAR’S HONOREE: JOANNE CHANG
We are thrilled to announce that this year’s Women Who Give award will be presented to Joanne Chang, Pastry Chef & Co-Owner of Flour Bakery, and Co-Owner of Myers + Chang.
James Beard Award-winning chef Joanne Chang opened the first Flour bakery in 2000. More than two decades later, she now operates ten Flour bakeries and sister restaurant Myers + Chang in Boston/Cambridge with her husband and business partner Christopher Myers.
Joanne, Flour, and Myers + Chang have garnered local and national recognition from Gourmet, Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, the New York Times, the Food Network, Conde Nast Traveler, Inc. Magazine, O Magazine, Boston Magazine, and the Boston Globe.
Joanne is the author of five cookbooks and serves on the Board of Directors for Share Our Strength and Brookline Bank. Joanne appeared as a judge on the first season of Netflix’s competition show Baking Impossible. She also teaches classes and advises pastry cooks both within the bakery, at area cooking schools, and virtually with her Bake Like a Pro session on MasterClass as well as her IGTV series Flour Love (#flourlove).
